THE BOARD OF EDUCATION AND SCHOOL MATERIALS.
TO TIIK EDITOR. —It would be a work of supererogation to doubt the authorship or inspiration of " Observer's " letter. The cloven hoof of shop or self blots and blurs every line, while spleen like a hissing serpent glares from every sentence. Let your readers be assured that as the present members of the Board of Education are entirely disinterested, they can afford to be impartial.—l am, etc., James Muir.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—Mr. Lennox's answer is quite correct —" The lowest all-round tender was accepted rather than divide the supply." The Education Board cannot have a depot for the goods sent by separate firms, and a staff of warehousemen and forwarding clerks to transmit them to each school. The requisitions are made out in triplicate; the teacher keeps one as a record, while two signed by the chairman of the school committee are sent to the Board of Education ; the Board retains one of these, and sends the other to the person whose tender they accepted.—l am, etc., A Member op a School Committee.
